WOW! We are so in awe of the Lord this morning, (as we should be every morning:). By His grace Gabe made the finals in the 100m freestyle at the US Olympic swim trials!!! He swam a best time at 48.85 and got 8th...talk about nerve wracking. I was standing up screaming at the top of my lungs while crying! It is a crazy experience. The Lord has been giving Gabe such tremendous peace. We are heading off to the pool for Gabe to stretch out a little and then back to the hotel for some rest before tonight. Gabe has to finish in the top six tonight to make the team. Please pray that the Lord continues to give him peace as he prepares today for his race. The pressure is like nothing I have ever experienced and it is so amazing to see the Lord's peace working in Gabe. Continue praying, it means so much to us!! WE love you all and I'll write more when the results are in:)

Go Gabe!!!!
Noah says, "I wanna yell for Uncle Gabe to swim fast!"
Last night I came home after Noah was in bed so I went in there and the first thing he said (half asleep) was that Daddy found Uncle Gabe on the t.v. swimming and that he got to see him. It's so exciting around here - we are truly on the edge of our seat.

Great swimming, Gabe. We'll be cheering you home tonight...and I'll try and keep Staci calm!!
Outside Smoke!!!

Gabe and Staci - we are so proud of you both and so spurred on by your godly attitude and perspective.
